00:00Sorry, did I take long? Oh my God, because, you know, I took the MRT from Cabal Station.
00:09Sorry, guys.
00:10Ah, ganun, bakalapa, girls.
00:16Hi, I'm Arizona Brandy, 28 years old, Drag Race Philippine Season 2 winner in an alternate universe.
00:26Ganun! Before, I'm from Cabal, but now, I'm being introduced to the world.
00:30So, world, if you're listening, it's me. Nice to meet you.
00:35My Asian heritage is Heritage Manil.
00:38Ano ba y'heritage?
00:40Okay, my Asian heritage is half shih tzu, half bulldog, so it's shit bull.
00:46Ah, kailan n'u bullshit. No.
00:50My brand before is I like to drink a lot and I like to vape a lot.
00:54My brand right now, it has changed.
00:57I like to drink a lot more and I like to vape a lot more.
01:00Ganun!
01:01A lot of people are saying that it was gross, me swallowing the lenses.
01:05And all I have to say is, you're right, that's gross.
01:08But I'm still gonna do it.
01:10If there's gonna be a next level, maybe I'll swallow, like, my veneers or something.
01:16In my previous season, I've been struggling with my outfits.
01:20This season, I'm still struggling wearing them.
01:23Ah, because it's so big.
01:26I don't have any regrets in not winning my season because I think I'm destined to win this season.
01:34Ah, ganun ba kula? Dapat inasyum agad.
01:37I think doing an all-Asian cast is a great idea because it's time to show the world, the universe rather,
01:44that we're confident, confident, what knowledge.
01:48I am confident with my English.
01:51I don't feel any pressure right now.
01:54I don't think the international queens are ready for the Pinay queens.
01:58Kayo kaya mag-adjust sa amin, mag-Tagalog kayo, hindi yung kami pinag-i-English niyo.
02:02Chak!
02:02I've had practice snatching.
02:04Back in Cuba, I've been snatching a lot of things.
02:07So I think this time, I can snatch the crown.
02:09And I, thank you!
02:11My message to my competitors in Salation Royale is,
02:15hold on to your wigs.
02:16Because I might snatch them.
02:18Watch out for Arizona Brandy here at Drag Race Philippines, Salation Royale.
02:31Ito na nang-fake mo lang to.
02:32Pang-ilang anak ka?
02:35Um, what number you are in your family?
02:42To my international queens, ladies and queens, are you ready to my English?
02:47Let's see, kung maintindihan niyo ako.
02:54Maguhay mga dinay!
02:56I'm Bernie nga pala from Drag Race Philippines Season 2.
02:59Na-miss niyo ba ko?
03:01I'm from Philippines and laking Maynila talaga ako.
03:05But my mother is from Antique and my father is from Leyte.
03:09Well, I'm the one of the top four.
03:11And I'm the famous running queen.
03:14And most beautiful, not totally beautiful,
03:18the one of the beautiful rank in Drag Race Philippines.
03:23Compared to before, my brand.
03:25My brand is now is the...
03:28Brand?
03:29Unbrand?
03:30Charis.
03:31Joke lang.
03:32Last my season, my brand is so opulent, more glamour.
03:36But now, Diday is a lady now.
03:39Feeling ko, itong Islation Royale na to, magiging masaya to.
03:42Iba-ibang franchise eh, na Asian eh.
03:44Kaya ako sumali ulit dito, para sa Corona.
03:47Nung season ko, ang inasam ko lang naman kasi,
03:50wag ako matanggal nung una.
03:51Pangalawa, makapasok ako ng Snatch Game.
03:54Pangatlo, makasama ako dun sa girl group.
03:56Level by level ako eh.
03:58Pang-ata sana, makatungtong ako ng top four.
04:00Pero hindi ko kasi hinangad yung Corona nung season ko.
04:02Pero ngayon, this time, this Islation Royale, hangad ko na ngayon ng Corona.
04:06Wala naman akong dapat katanayan.
04:08Kasi ang ganda ng track record ko nung season ko,
04:11di ko sinasabi na ako may pinakamaganda.
04:13Isa ako sa pinakamay pinakamagandang track record.
04:16Girls from International Queens, expect nyo na ang height ko is 6'2".
04:21And...
04:22Ba't niy na tawa?
04:24Isa akong balingkinita na babae.
04:27Tandaan nyo, kung may hubadera sa inyo, mas hubadera ako sa inyo.
04:31International Queens, hindi ako magaling mag-English.
04:34Well, nandun naman, Drag Race Philippines Islation Royale.
04:37May Philippines pa rin naman.
04:39Kaya siguro kaya nila ako tinanggap dito.
04:41Itataas natin ngayon ang bandera ng Pilipinas dito sa Drag Race Philippines Islation Royale.
04:46Ladies and Jealousish, Trans Revolution, Bernie, fierce!
04:51This season, I will serve Asian excellence.
04:59Of course, ipapakita ko sa kanila kung paano mag-alaga ang Pilipinong ina.
05:03Wahahahaha!
05:05Pilipinong ina!
05:10Ding, ding, ding!
05:11My name is Brigadine from Drag Race Philippines Season 1.
05:15And I'm here to win, win, win.
05:18On Season 1, I placed top 6.
05:21I was so in my head.
05:22Sobra kong kinakabahan.
05:24And losing didn't mean I really lost.
05:28I only learned.
05:29That's why I'm back here to show the world who I really am as a drag artist.
05:33I was not playing to win.
05:35I am playing not to lose.
05:37So I think it's about time for them to really see the real Brigadine.
05:42This time, it's the new and improved, evolved and transformed Brigadine yung makikita ninyo sa show na to.
05:49The most iconic parts ng Season 1 is my iconic untucked moments with Minty Fresh.
05:54Kung saan ako natawagang baliw?
05:56Ngayon, mas marami tayo ipapakitang looks, talent, legacy, and the crown.
06:03Here, put it on my head.
06:05I'm very, very excited to represent the Philippines.
06:08Dito Sleysian Royale.
06:10It's about time for the world to see the talent, the beauty that we have here in the Philippines.
06:15The beauty and talent that we have here in Asia.
06:18I'm excited to be fighting against my sisters here in the Philippines and Asian races around the world.
06:25It's an honor and a responsibility.
06:27These international queens are talented.
06:30I know that for sure, but the Filipino queens, oh, Philippine drag excellence is world class.
06:37Filipino drag excellence will be seen around the world through this lens.
06:42I am the Sleysian royalty because I think I have it.
06:46I have it in my beauty, I have it in my talent, and that's what we will see on this show.
06:52Mga Asian sisters, good luck at dapat pakak.
06:56Of course, I'll be steering it.
06:58I'll be steering it.
06:59I am the brand, the showgirl, the powerhouse performer, mother of the house of Ding, and Sleysian Royale winner.
07:08Ding, ding, ding.
07:09Ding, ding, ding, ding.
07:39Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
07:46Hey, I'm Irie Glaze.
07:47I'm from RuPaul's Drag Race down in the season three, and baby, I'm back with a bang.
07:51Get it?
07:52So I'm half Chinese, I'm half Dutch.
07:54I was born in Australia, and my mother was raised in Fiji, and she's the Chinese one.
07:58So, you know, I'm kind of like a mix of a lot of cultures, all thrown together into one gangly lady, which is me.
08:03I'm just as Asian as the rest.
08:04I can do the squat, and I turn red when I drink.
08:06My original placement, I'd like to say, is 8th, alternate.
08:11You would remember me as being the main character of RuPaul's Drag Race down in season three.
08:15I was the one with all the camera time, the crying, failing a lot, and then passing out.
08:21Unfortunately, RIP old Ivory, she went the house down in front of RuPaul.
08:24But I left my mark on that stage, literally.
08:26If you plan to eliminate me, I might do it again.
08:29All right, lawyer up, lawyer up.
08:31I was a little green.
08:33I didn't know exactly what I liked.
08:34I didn't know exactly what I wanted it to be.
08:36I just went because you know, if RuPaul calls,
08:38I'm not gonna say, hi RuPaul, thank you for having me.
08:41Maybe next time.
08:42She's not gonna give you a next time.
08:43So I went anyway, and it was just not quite there
08:46at the level that I wanted it to be.
08:47And now I'm a little bit edgier, a little bit darker,
08:51a little bit, a lot more black hair actually.
08:53I really embraced my Asian heritage with the black hair.
08:56I'm here to be the real me, have fun, not be stressed,
09:00and just really show what I can do.
09:03Coming here to the Philippines with a lot of Asian queens,
09:05I know that the Filipino girls and the Thai girls,
09:08for instance, there are more is more is more is more
09:10is more kind of people.
09:11I'm not really that kind of girl.
09:13And I think I like doing interesting things through concept
09:15and maybe a mix of things like cosplay techniques
09:19and fashion.
09:20I don't know, the Asian queens bring it every time.
09:22This is gonna be one fierce as fuck season.
09:25I'm glad that we've only have Asians in here
09:27so we can guarantee that one's gonna happen.
09:30To my fellow competitors, I hope you're short.
09:32That way I can walk and not even see your faces.
09:35It's gonna be a clean sweep at my arms level.
09:37So have fun and don't unpack everything,
09:40cause it'll be a waste of your time.
09:42What's up, man, and up?
10:01but I am back.
10:02Did y'all miss me?
10:04Kiana with a K from Drag Race Philippines,
10:06season three, the most iconic season of all.
10:10I am a Filipino Bisaya Queen from Cagayan de Oro City,
10:14the most beautiful regional queen amongst.
10:17On my season, you know, you'll know me as the look queen.
10:21The look queen?
10:24Kinala ako sa stunts.
10:25Sa stunts,
10:26pero mas kinala ako sa pagiging loser,
10:28alam nyo naman yan.
10:29Okay lang naman, sakto lang.
10:31Happy pa rin ako na hindi ko siya nakuha
10:33kasi syempre hindi nyo na ako makikita dito sa TV nyo.
10:36Kung nakuha ko yun, sayang naman yung mga looks ko na binaon ngayon, di ba?
10:39Binaon ng sayang.
10:41Grabe.
10:42Ibaang ka ba ngayon?
10:43At feeling ko naman, I have grown as a person
10:46to, you know, to accept everything
10:47because everything happens for a reason.
10:49If I could teach everyone to be grateful,
10:53we would have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and foster.
10:57Hehehehe.
10:58Alam, parang gago.
11:00Of course, I will continue to do my most and my best.
11:05I'm gonna enjoy because those were the things
11:07that I didn't really had the time during my season
11:10because laban na laban lahat.
11:12Ngayon naman, let's see what the girls are gonna do.
11:15I'm just gonna, you know, lay back, enjoy now, snatch later.
11:19And they're gonna take care of their competition.
11:21So, let's see about that.
11:22I'll start with the international,
11:24and my sisters.
11:26So, hehehehehehe.
11:28This time, we're gonna see all Asian excellence
11:31and that is what the world needs.
11:34Ngayon, sabi ko kanina patatanggalin natin sila isa isa.
11:36So, it's a bittersweet moment.
11:38It's a moment.
11:39Oh, oh my God.
11:40This is the moment right here.
11:42And if that moment comes to your life,
11:45then just grab it and then eat it.
11:48She eats.
11:49La la la la la la.
11:51Okay, my ultimate K word of the season is combat.
11:55And get ready for this combat, girl.
11:57To my competitors, sisters, I love you.
12:00Good luck.
12:01I hope you're ready for this craziness,
12:04this kaboogness, and this kietness.
12:06I'm Keanu with a K, and that K stands for
12:08the first ever campeon naslasian royal.
12:12Get it right.
12:18Oh, bonjour, hello.
12:21It's me, Kitty Space.
12:24My room is 5501.
12:26You know, I can also speak with a very, very sexy French
12:31kabaret accent.
12:33Do you like you?
12:39Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour.
12:41My name is Kitty Space from Drag Race France season two.
12:44In my season, I was the first, first ever Asian queen.
12:48So I was so proud to do this, to represent Asia in France
12:53and in Drag Race France.
12:54Unfortunately, I was eliminated three places,
12:56but now I'm here, so I'm proud.
12:59My experience was so, so good.
13:02I had a lot of fun, but I was a little bit too much into my head.
13:05Very like dysphoria.
13:07I always feel that I was a woman, but I never tell anybody.
13:11So when I discovered drag, it was kind of something to help me
13:15to be a woman, to be myself.
13:18So now I'm starting the transition and I'm also doing my coming
13:22out to my parents through this season.
13:24So it's very important for me.
13:26My Asian heritage is I'm Vietnamese.
13:28I was born in Vietnam.
13:30I was adopted by French people.
13:32I went to Canada, then France, then China.
13:34I lived a lot in China.
13:35I'm not Chinese, but I think I know more Chinese culture
13:39than Vietnamese culture.
13:40Like I will say, my culture is more Chinese than Vietnamese.
13:44You know, I'm proud to compete with all Asian.
13:47I feel more in my safe place, you know, but it's also a challenge
13:52because I know Asian all around the world are really, really tough.
13:56But I am also.
13:58I can snatch the crown because I'm ready now.
14:01I'm more confident with myself.
14:02I'm more proud and I'm also proud of my body.
14:05So I'll show more body, more camp and my drag is elevated
14:10and we need a trans woman to win this crown.
14:13Be careful the girls.
14:14Attention, attention.
14:15I am here.
14:16You should watch out your step because I'm going to snatch that crown, honey.
14:20Bonjour, bonjour, world.
14:21Your favorite French croissant will be in Slayton Royale this season.
14:25So if you want a bit French cabaret, fierceness, campness and battle,
14:30let's watch it now.
14:44Mahal Koukayo.
14:51Bonjour, it's Madame Yoko and I'm from Drag Race, Belgique, season two.
14:56Well, you know, I have been a robbed queen because I was eliminated in the third episode
15:00with the best gown ever on Belgium Drag Race.
15:04And I feel like it was not fair because I couldn't show off what I really can do.
15:11It was too short to show everything, all my talents.
15:14So now I'm ready to show them off to you, Philippines.
15:19And of course, the fans do remember me as the first Asian queen,
15:22but also me as the most friendly girl of the season, I guess.
15:27My drag is about singing.
15:29My drag is about fashion.
15:30My drag is about friendship.
15:32And my drag is about being fierce and sexy sometimes.
15:38Well, you know, I'm from Vietnam, but I was adopted by virgin parents.
15:41And you know what, I'm so happy to be a very good mix between Asia and Europe.
15:46And you know what, I like Asian food, but also I love beer and fries in Belgium.
15:51Well, back to Luxembourg, I had my cabaret for five years.
15:55And a cabaret is a place where there are shows every week.
15:58And my job is touring around Europe to sing and do concerts
16:03to people who want to see a drag nice show.
16:07I was the queen of Luxembourg, no, I'm sorry, I'm still the queen of Luxembourg.
16:11I'm so happy to be part of this Asian royal drag season in the Philippines
16:15because I think Asian queens are not represented enough on the drag scene
16:19all over the world.
16:20So I am so, so, so happy.
16:22Well, you know, I want to prove to the world that I am a real drag able to win drag race.
16:29So I'll win the crown this season for sure.
16:32All my fellow sisters of the season, you're not ready with me
16:37because you don't know what I am able to do.
16:40So get ready.
16:41Watch out because Madame Yoko, the Belgian drag queen,
16:45will be the winner of this Asian royal.
16:48Prenez garde because Madame Yoko, your Belgian drag queen,
16:54is about to win this Asian royal season.
16:57Ohhhh!
17:05Hi Siam, Suatika!
17:10We're here to dance and play!
17:13Feel the groove, feel the heat!
17:17Hi Siam, bring the beat!
17:24I'm from Drag Race Thailand season 3!
17:38In Drag Race Thailand season 3, I am 7th place.
17:41I'm deep down Thai.
17:42Because my name is Siam Pussy, it means the pussy from Thailand.
17:47So every piece that I wear is like for like a Thai element.
17:51I'm the drag queen who's really crazy about my culture.
17:53I moved to USA since I'm 20, and now I'm 35.
17:57The language, the people, and I have like a little bit hard time
18:00for blending with other people because they already know
18:02it's out there for a while, you know?
18:04Really hard to blend in, but I make it work.
18:06Hopefully, yes.
18:08People like go there, the show, they want to be the winner.
18:11But I think this way.
18:13Drag Race Thailand season 3 is the place for me
18:15to allow me to do drag queen.
18:18Because before that, I set up myself three years
18:20if I try to be drag queen.
18:22If not, I will quit on everything.
18:24And then Drag Race Thailand calling me,
18:26it means like open the door for me to continue doing drag.
18:30That's why for me, I am the winner already.
18:33And then I did this on this season 2.
18:36Thank you, Ka, for having me.
18:37I am so excited, you know,
18:39because I'm always waiting for a long time
18:41for having like an Asian group.
18:43Sometimes in the world, we have so many different diversity,
18:46but we combine one diversity together,
18:48you know, especially Asian.
18:50We feel we're pretty, we're yummy, we're delicious.
18:53We should be a girl group
18:54and make the world see us how beautiful we are.
18:57I hope like I can be the example, you know,
19:00for the people who are living outside of their country.
19:03They will more think about themselves,
19:05where they come from and be proud for who they are.
19:08I want the crowd because from the last season,
19:11one girl told me that I'm not deserved to represent Thailand.
19:14But look at me today.
19:16I do whatever I can.
19:17And I'm so fucking proud that now I represent Thailand.
19:21And I will do everything to make Thailand proud.
19:25Watch out.
19:26I'm going to be the winner of Salation Royal.
19:29Hai siam, suwati ka.
19:33Hai siam, ma bu hai.
19:41Sapsabai, mihentes, latinas et latinos, soyo, Suki Doll.
19:47Bien sûr, je suis ici pour vous montrer beaucoup de choses
19:49qui ne vont pas être sur la télévision,
19:51sur les vêtements, sur les autres choses.
19:53But I'm obviously here also to win a crown.
20:00Sapsabai, c'est moi, Suki Doll,
20:01from Canada's Drag Race, season two.
20:03You're with Kandiality.
20:04I am very much of a mixed drag queen, not confused.
20:08What I mean is I have a mixed heritage.
20:10I'm Vietnamese, I'm Chinese, I'm Cambodian.
20:13So obviously it translated my aesthetic.
20:15But I am also French-Canadian.
20:16And I also speak Spanish.
20:18What else to say?
20:19So mixed, during my season, oh, can you even believe it?
20:23I was fourth, but Snatch Game is very difficult.
20:25It is a heritage part of Drag Race.
20:27But I did excel in all the design challenge, the acting challenge.
20:31I'm so happy I was able to share the platform, use it.
20:33I featured a lot of designs.
20:35I was back as a mentor.
20:36There was, of course, all the designs I did for all the girls.
20:39I've done over, now, 15 seasons of Drag Race.
20:41I mean, I've held so many different titles.
20:44I mean, who doesn't need help from Suki Doll?
20:46I did help, of course, Brooklyn, your host of Kandial's Drag Race.
20:49Nikki Doll from France.
20:51Rita from Belgique.
20:52Of course, I did a whole package of my sister and best friend,
20:55Isis Couture, Cursealicious, Hide in Closet, Aja.
20:58I mean, like, good names never stops.
21:01I feel amazing to be in the cast of full Asian queens.
21:03I mean, where else to excel with the best of the best of Asia's?
21:07I mean, how could I ever say no to somebody asking me honestly,
21:10Asian Royale cast?
21:12And also, like, just the diversity and richness that we have in Asia
21:15is more than important because this is a platform
21:17that can make a difference for everyone who is queer and Asian.
21:20I think the best to expect from Suki Doll is the unexpected.
21:23I mean, what do you want to see on paper?
21:25You want to see more visual.
21:27And that's what Suki Doll is about.
21:28I mean, I'm not trying to prove things,
21:30but I'm here to say a message and it's very loud and clear.
21:33And to tell you who I am now today,
21:35Suki Doll is not just the art form of drag and what I represent,
21:39but it is also my whole career has been based
21:41and is made out of the love for my mother.
21:44So my drag and what I do is a love letter to my mother.
21:47I am very much more confident this time around
21:48just because I'm seasoned and seating is always good in Asia.
21:52Girls, whoever you are, you will need a lot more lip gloss
21:56than what you're wearing to be competing with me.
21:57Bye.
21:59Bonjour mes amours.
22:00Please do tune in and watch the beauty, the glam,
22:03and of course the fashion of Suki Doll.
22:05There's just so much you don't want to miss
22:07and the camera just can't tell you everything unless you watch it live.
22:23Sorry, I was getting a bit of gold off my hand while thinking.
22:25Uh, what was I trying to say again?
22:32Greetings from the United Kingdom and Drag Race UK Season 1.
22:37I am the one and only Something Won.
22:41People remember me from Drag Race Season 1
22:43as being the first Asian on UK franchise of Drag Race.
22:48On my season of Drag Race, I placed seventh?
22:50I think that was stirred out and I went out on the one and only Snatch Game.
22:55What went wrong?
22:57I just wasn't ready for Drag Race UK the first time.
23:00I wanted to fit in with what was popular.
23:02I wanted to fit in with what was cool at the time.
23:04But since doing Drag Race and then understanding my Asian-ness,
23:08my aesthetic has its mood.
23:09It's become beautiful and I've learned how to understand
23:12my Asian beauty through drag.
23:14I have a very mixed Asian heritage.
23:17My grandparents are Chinese, so my dad and my mum always tell me,
23:20you are always Chinese, don't ever forget that.
23:22But I've been brought up speaking Vietnamese my entire life.
23:25It's all a bit mixed and I'm basically a very Asian UK bloke.
23:29Woman.
23:30Why did I want to compete?
23:32Because I'm some Ting Wong.
23:33I'm the first franchised Asian on Drag Race UK's history.
23:38I have an entire meet and greet line that looks like a Shein factory.
23:45It's just nice to be representing Asians and I never thought I had that pedestal,
23:50I had that crown.
23:51I'm so excited every time I see an Asian on Drag Race.
23:54We're all in this together and we're all finally a way to showcase ourselves
23:58in a way that we don't have to conform to the stereotypical white beauty or the Western standards.
24:04We can see that not all Asians are Chinese.
24:07I am so excited for an entire Asian cast.
24:09I've been watching Drag Race Philippines.
24:12These were girls trying to showcase their art and it just spoke to me.
24:15I can't wait to meet these girls, especially the girls from the Philippines.
24:19I've had a little time to rest, hit the gym and I'm back to show you what I really do.
24:24To my competitors, I love you all.
24:26I love you all dearly because you are my Asian sisters and you're all going to be my favorite.
24:31But absolutely get to fuck, I'm going to win this, okay?
24:36This season, join me and watch me progress and be beautiful and also Asian
24:42on this beautiful season of Slation Royale.
24:45Wah!
24:45We're going to win this year.
24:49We're going to win this year, we're going to win.
24:52We're going to win this year.
24:53This is it! My God!
25:00Hi, Philippines! This is Venus the Longs once again coming back!
25:09Here's Drag Race! This is Lesion Royale!
25:13The National Mouth of the Philippines is back here with fresher, better breath, and look!
25:19Come on, let's go!
25:21I am representing, of course, Drag Race Philippines Season 1.
25:26And my placing is a little bit early out,
25:29but I'm gonna come back stronger and better and funnier and more beautifuller.
25:34Beautifuller!
25:36People remember me the most is about my campiest looks,
25:41like my manananggalok, my gravity inside the popcorn,
25:44my confessionals, my binipi naman daw, my bonga airtime,
25:48and of course, my beauty.
25:51From my original franchise to now, I'm now so much better in speaking in English.
25:58And then I can compare that I have a deeper understanding now about what Drag Race is all about.
26:03It is a platform that I can use to inspire people and to educate, of course, about the art of drag.
26:11I don't have any regrets about my run and my season because, as my psychiatrist told me, I was the happiest eliminatee?
26:19Elimini?
26:20Eliminant? Eliminated queen!
26:23Eliminated queen!
26:24How Asian am I?
26:25I am the representation of a very good drag queen from the Philippines!
26:32I'm so excited because now I will be exposed in the whole wide world and they will know my pambansang bunganga.
26:39And I use this as my tool in lip-syncing.
26:43I use it as my tool in singing.
26:45And I use this as my tool in loving.
26:49They don't know that much about the Filipino queens.
26:55But we just don't have beauty.
26:57We also have talent, charisma, uniqueness, and nerve.
27:01It's just amazing.
27:02I don't need to prove that I can win because that's too obvious.
27:07So, all my competitors, I want to say thank you for being a part of my journey towards becoming the first Asian royalty!
27:17Come on, give it to me!
27:18I am Yu Hua representing Drag Race USA Season 10, baby!
27:39I dropped Tamasaki because I feel like I'm just Yu Hua right now.
27:43In and out of drag, I've learned so much about drag through Yu Hua
27:46that I've been able to combine both of them together beautifully.
27:49From my season, I wasn't really there long.
27:52So, I feel like there's not much to remember except the entrance.
27:55I feel like it was a very memorable moment.
27:57It was very proud and very honorable because I've been watching Drag Race for 10 years at that time.
28:02So, walking through those work rooms was amazing.
28:05During my season, I went home third for an acting challenge and it did not feel good.
28:09But since then, I've took some acting lessons, some improv lessons.
28:13So, I feel like I'm ready to slate the acting challenge this season.
28:16I am Chinese American and as an Asian drag performer in the USA,
28:20we'll often think as someone that's not funny, not entertaining, and we're known for our looks.
28:25So, I think like coming back onto Drag Race, Slays and Royale, I get to prove all of them wrong.
28:30That we are entertaining, we are funny, we are also capable of doing what you're capable of doing too.
28:35During my season, I was 27 at the time, but I feel like I was still growing.
28:39So, I feel like almost a decade later, going back to Drag Race, I feel like I'm more developed as a person.
28:44And I feel like I know more of myself as a person too.
28:47And coming back onto this Slays and Royale season, I feel like I have a little bit more confidence,
28:52a little bit more money, and I feel like I'm going to slate with the other girls.
28:55At first, when they said, do you want to come to All Stars? I was like, okay, sure, let's do it.
28:59And then they said international. I was like, sure, where?
29:02And then they said all Asian cast in the Philippines. I was like, heck yes, let's do this.
29:07When, where, how, let's do this ASAP.
29:10I think it's so important to have an all Asian cast because I don't know if y'all know or not,
29:15but watching Drag Race all over the world, there has only been one Asian queen in every season,
29:21or sometimes none. And I feel like having an all Asian cast, we're all going to know each other.
29:27We share the same experiences, the same difficulties, the same humor.
29:31And I feel like it's going to be an amazing season just because of that.
29:34Do I feel like I can snatch the crown? This is hard to say because I feel like I haven't met the girls yet.
29:40But sure, if I work hard at it. But yes, I do.
29:43This season is going to be Slays and Royale, baby. Slay the house down with looks, humor,
29:50and of course, 12 Asian girls. So expect that.
29:53So make sure you tune in for Slays and Royale with me, baby.
29:56Yu Hua. And stay bootleg, because bootleg loves you too.
30:01That's how it got me here.
30:03Thank you for listening.
30:08Yeah.
30:10But then, of course.
